Mollie Katzen's Vegetable Heaven

With
all the "food rules," advice, and conflicting information everyone is
bombarded with on a daily basis, is it any wonder that the fun has gone
out of cooking and eating? While it's become clear that eating a low-fat,
well-rounded diet is the most sensible approach for a healthy lifestyle,
most people feel they don't have the time to shop for, prep, and cook—not
to mention taste—the meals they prepare at home due to their busy
schedules.

What can they do? Relax, slow down, and let Mollie Katzen lead them
back to healthy, delicious, and, above all, pleasurable eating. Katzen,
author of the beloved vegetarian cookbook Moosewood Cookbook -
one of the top ten best-selling cookbooks of all time—has, over the
years, changed her own cooking techniques, reduced the fat, added bolder
seasonings, and simplified the recipes she prepares for herself and
her family.

As a result, the recipes found in her first major new cookbook in
nine years, Mollie Katzen's Vegetable Heaven: Over 200 Recipes for
Uncommon Soups, Tasty Bites. Side-by-Side Dishes. And Too Many Desserts (Hyperion), are faster and easier to prepare and allow the natural
flavors of the food to shine through.

Mollie Katzen can show you:

how to make cooking and eating a pleasurable, sensuous experience
with food rich in color, texture, taste, and variety, not in fat and
calories;

how you can create wonderfully sophisticated meals everyday that
are surprisingly simple to prepare, saving you that most precious of
commodities: time;

why the majority of her cookbook fans are not strict vegetarians
(including Katzen herself), just people who want to eat good food, sometimes
with meat, sometimes without.

Mollie Katzen is the author of Moosewood Cookbook, The Enchanted
Broccoli Forest, Still Life with Menu, and Pretend Soup, which
have sold a total of more than 3.5 million copies. The release of Mollie
Katzen's Vegetable Heaven coincides with the launch of a brand-new,
26-part season of half-hour shows for public television, Mollie Katzen
's Cooking Show 200: Vegetable Heaven. This series is presented
by KQED-San Francisco, and is distributed to public television stations
nationwide by the American Program Service (APS). A professional artist
(55 of her luminous paintings illustrate the new cookbook), Katzen lives
near Berkeley, California with her husband and two children.
